A Northerner in exile, Stuart Maconie goes on a journey in search of the North, attempting to discover where the clichés end and the truth begins. He travels from Wigan Pier to Blackpool Tower and Newcastle's Bigg Market to the Lake District to find his own Northern Soul, encountering along the way an exotic cast of chippy Scousers, pie-eating woollybacks, topless Geordies, mad-for-it Mancs, Yorkshire nationalists and brothers in southern exile.©2007 Stuart Maconie (P)2009 Random House Audiobooks Europe Travel Writing & Commentary Western Europe Funny Witty Feel-Good Thought-Provoking Comedy Outcast

Critic reviews

"Maconie's witty, swift-paced search for the North isn't all Bury's oven-bottomed muffins and Crewe's Full Bellies cafe. What he has to say about the response of Boris Johnson to Liverpudlian Ken Bigley's protracted pre-execution ordeal is just one of many sharp cultural insights." ( The Observer)

From start to finish this is just the most brilliant insightful funny book delivered by Stuart’s infectious voice. As a fellow proud northerner I found myself nodding and agreeing the whole way through. Download this you won’t regret it.

Didn’t want this brilliant book to end
